Book Description
From purple people-eaters to surreal Japanese baseball dramas, you won't believe your eyes when you look inside "The Leather Nun". Paul Gravett and Peter Stanbury, acclaimed creators of "Graphic Novels" and "Great British Comics", have scoured the world to gather together the most weird and wonderful comics ever to be published. Gigantic alien monsters in swimming trunks rub up against the Leather Nun; hip-hop superheroes fight street crime, while peasant-girl Hansi fervently worships the swastika. Alongside long-running series are bizarre one-off titles such as "Barnyard of Fear", "Chaplains at War" and "Amputee Love". Following an entertaining introduction placing the comics in context, Gravett and Stanbury present an ever-changing parade of 61 rare and bizarre comics, each featured in a colourful double-page spread with the eye-popping cover shown in full.
